Threads and colours

This pattern shows 9 colours:

2 references of DMC stranded cotton

7 references of Gentle Arts or ATALIe threads (counterpart in DMC references available on the chart)

ATALIe threads are shaded hand-dyed cotton (or silk) threads by French designer ATALIe; their subtle shading gives a special outcome to your stitching. You can buy the mini-pack of ATALIe threads we have prepared to match this pattern. See below the "related products" section to buy the right mini-pack of ATALIe threads.

The model on the picture has been stitched on a 32 count linen fabric (colour off-white) as a miniature using one strand of cotton over one thread of fabric. But you can stitch it in full size using two strands of cotton over two threads of fabric.
